Does anyone know the density in pounds of this topper? Basically, is it very soft...do you sink in or is it firm enough for proper support?

You lay on it and it doesn't sink in, it conforms to your shape. I am just over 200 lbs and I find it just right on top of my mattress. I also have a lightweight quilted topper from one of those "mart" stores on it. I'm happy with this product. I also have relief from arthritis.

it most definitely conforms. i'm a heavier person, but even my kids sunk down in it a bit. it FEELS great, and yes, it does almost feel like you're in a comfortable supported position when lying down. i just noticed after a few nights that my hip and back felt worse....almost like when i attempted to roll over onto my stomach or side as i always sleep, is when i ran into issues.

I definitely agree that it's not a good mattress for heavier people. I am a 190-pound man, and it just sinks into much. My curvy partner sometimes sleeps on it too, and it sinks too much for her too. I think it's better for light- to moderate-weight people, especially those who are slender.

I'm a 195lb man, and even though 5.5 should be rather firm, I found it to be much too soft for my liking. (I was looking for something firm.) I had a 4" memory foam topper from my previous spring mattress that I put on top of this though, and it feels much better (firm) now. I'd say if you want something you can sink into a bit, this would be right up your alley.

I tried it out on the floor when the topper first arrived and I felt like it did not sink down drastically, but I did not take note of how close I was to the floor. However, it was very firm out of the box and has since been worn in, so perhaps it would sink down even further now. It is only 2 inches thick so it probably gets pretty close to the floor.

Pretty dense. I haven't slept on it. It is on a guest bed, but it was pretty dense. We have a memory foam bed (Serta) that we sleep on and we tested it out and it felt pretty nice!

It's 2 inches of polyester fill. We have a regular spring mattress and it seemed pretty hard but when this is on it, it lets you sink in a little so I'd say it's comfy. It would flatten over time just fluff it a little and you are okay. It's like sinking into a pillow :) I would recommend it especially based on the price, good deal. Hope that helps!

It's fairly firm, I would recommend you go down to a mattress store and lay down on one of their memory foam mattresses. That is the firmness of that type of mattress.

I rather doubt it, this topper is not very soft. It is softer than the very hard mattress I put it onto, but the base is not a memory foam mattress, just a normal hard mattress. It helped a little bit, but I felt it was still just a bit on the firm side. Hope that helps.

This memory foam mattress is very very firm....I am looking to get either a topper or a regular real mattress to put on top...

I have the one that is rated at 5.5 pounds density and it is very firm. I'm a big gal and I don't "sink" into it. I would think a softer density would be better for a child, but honestly don't know.

My husband, who was 280 lbs. when we bought the topper, felt it was too soft/not firm enough. After losing 70 pounds, he now feels it's just right. So I agree with the individual who suggested your son might prefer a more dense/thicker topper. If you can find a denser mattress by this manufacturer, it would be a good purchase. I love our topper, by the way.

I actually purchased mine because of the reviews relating to the softness. Mine; however is incredibly firm. We cannot sleep on it. Moved it to the guest room and the guests complain that it is too firm. Our personal experience is that it caused more pain, mostly in the hips.

I only weigh 190 lbs. and I sank deep into it. I would say 'no' to support. It's more of a plush snugly sleep.

it will actually make the bed feel softer. initially it will be feel soft, but once you sink into it, you can barely even turn. we bought it and now use it for a bed for sleepovers. It stayed on our bed for 2 days, and we couldnt' take it anymore. my hard bed felt a lot better after attempting to sleep with this topper on it.

I am not sure but the density seems firm to me. It is a very comfortable and supportive pillow.

Hi WH! Hey, it is surprisingly firm. This is my daughters bed and she LOVES it. I spent one night on it and wanted to get a "squishy" matress pad :) hope this helps!
